ZHTest Method: SATRA TM194
Longitudinal stiffness of footwear
January 2004
SCOPE
This method is intended to measure the longitudinal stiffness of complete footwear. The method is applicable to all types of footwear that are expected to flex during wear.
PRINCIPLE
The force required to flex the footwear to an angle representing a 50º flex of the foot or the maximum angle that can be achieved without exceeding a critical bending moment is determined. The longitudinal stiffness of the footwear is then calculated using either the force applied or the flex angle that is achieved.
